We recommend you change your region only if you’re moving to a new country or region for a long time. This is important because stuff you get in one region might not work in another, including Xbox Live Gold, apps, games, movies, and the balance in your Microsoft account.

shows the process for purchasing from another region. In order for this loopole to work you need to provide an address from the region that you are purchasing from. Obviously the purchase will be digital in nature so there really isn't a shipping address.

They can't really tell you where you can and can't buy the game from. I am vacationing in Italy for the next week I need to make a change to my region should I want to make a purchase.

Hello thanks for your response but lets say the game is in german WS and in hong kong WS will it still not work because as much as i dont like doing these loopholes i just cant buy the game at that price and the game will not go on sale for a long time

I keep it simple and play my other games. When it comes down to a palatable price then I'll cough up the dough. Far Cry 5 on the other hand is a game I MIGHT, just might spend $60 which I don't usually do and I can't remember the last time I did.
